> It comes with its own trade offs. I don’t know that adding a build step and tightly coupling your styling with your DOM counts as “fixing” css, but I suppose it all depends on your perspective. It is a fix. While creatively combining CSS rules to accomplish layouting is a tenant of past CSS history, it was terrible for coding in the language itself. Using tables for layouting or vertical centering hacks is the same kind of pain as using single letter characters for all your variables. In the same way, using flexible selectors to select any grouping globally was historically a positive feature of CSS, but we've done it enough to know that it creates extremely painful bugs related to improper scope and needless amounts of copy paste code fixes. The real fix is properly scoping css, which is what BEM is about, but what modular components does better.
